"Helping as many unfortunate children as possible. Inspire them, give them hope and dreams. And not only in Indonesia, but around the whole wide world. That’s what I’m going to do."

Georges Hilaul, co-founder Yayasan Belajar Bersama Sjors

"See... before you can pursue a dream, it must first be created. And perhaps, all it takes is a little light of inspiration and love (with an ice cream every now and then) and this is what I'm going to do."

Jenny Tjoa, co-founder of Yayasan Belajar Bersama Sjors

Let us tell you a little bit about ourselves, what moves us and why we do what we do!

We are campaigning to continuously help under-privileged and less fortunate kids. We want to give them a little push towards a better future, because that’s often all they need, a little nudge in the right direction! With the right guidance, safe environment, a chance to relax, good education and above all, inspiration, these kids will go further than they could ever dream of. And that’s exactly what we are driven to do. But, we can’t do all of this alone, we need help. And that means from you too!

Pursuing our motto; ‘learn to inspire and inspiring to learn’, our mission is to support underprivileged kids by offering them inspirational and educational tools to help them create their dreams and work towards a hopeful future. We have been active in Jakarta since 2011 and we are planning to expand our project locations to other parts of Indonesia including Sumatra, Ambon and Bali. Further, we also seek to collaborate with local organisations and pioneers from other parts of the world to reach out to as many underprivileged kids as possible.

The Belajar Bersama Sjors Foundation is founded by two friends Georges Hilaul and Jenny Tjoa. Georges, who is born and raised in the Netherlands and worked as an entrepreneur, teacher and magician, moved to Indonesia after seeing the poor condition of many underprivileged children in his father’s home country and decided that he wanted to do something about this. Jenny, also an entrepreneur grew up witnessing the poverty in her country. After living many years abroad, she too decided to move back to Indonesia and support a cause. A short acquaintance between them grew into friendship sharing the similar dream to help as many unfortunate kids as possible around the world. Georges and Jenny then embarked on their journey using their skills and experiences to create programs which would help them realise their dream. A year later, The Belajar Bersama Sjors Foundation was born.
